DAGHESTAN, Northeast Caucasian

(Connoisseur-Caliber)
Lovers of Caucasian tribal antique rugs often find themselves drawn to masterful risk-taking, inventive re-making of time-honored designs. Here the weaver-artist filled the classic Daghestan latticework pattern not with myriad tiny blossoms, but with larger scale, symbolic "Star of Wisdom" motifs. This powerful design transformation is augmented by an original choice of a maize tone golden hue for the field on which contrasting colors create an animated rhythm, pulsating throughout the field and up and down the surrounding borders. Our world-renowned collection of 19th century tribal rugs offers a wide array of collectible Caucasian antique carpets such as this inspired piece.
